EVEN takes a percentage of digital sales, with preset terms through your label or distributor, and 5% of physical sales. There is no subscription, no retainer, no build cost, and no minimums.
What the percentage covers
The percentage is not a platform fee sitting on top of other costs. Payment processing, currency conversion, publishing, global sales tax, and fan support are all inside it. Your team will not see a separate processing fee, a gateway charge, or a support bill at the end of the campaign.
Merchant of record
EVEN is the merchant of record on every transaction. That means checkout, payments, global sales tax and VAT, fraud, chargebacks, and fan support all sit with us, across 140 currencies and fans in 195 countries, with local rails where they matter: Paystack in Nigeria, M-Pesa in Kenya, mobile money in Ghana and South Africa, and more.
For your finance team, the practical effect is that there is nothing to file on fan transactions. Reporting shows gross and net with daily payout records, and an audit-firm accounting memo covers the merchant-of-record structure.
Publishing
Publishing is covered inside the same percentage. EVEN is licensed by the US PROs (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR) and the MLC, with performance licensing in the US, Canada, and the UK. Your side carries no publishing exposure and has no additional licenses to clear.
Where the money goes
For signed artists, music revenue goes to the label for royalty accounting under the campaign agreement. Non-music items that are not tied to the music can live on the same Studio with revenue routed to the artist or team directly.
The principle
EVEN only earns when you earn. For the specific digital terms on your campaign, contact your label or distributor.
